Why not just make it open source? And let other people work on it and just cover 3 people managing this + architecture costs. You don't need 2.9 mil per year to process 60k certificate requests a day with system that is practically finished. What else is there to do which open source community could not do it itself? Thousands of companies and developers use letsencrypt, a lot of potential man power to help if you ask me. You could easily cut costs 5-6 times. Or am i missing something here?
